Looking for any information on these family names.

In particular, Sebastian / Sobestyan Inglot who was born about 1870, who is my 81 year Dad's grandfather. Dad is still alive and would be pleased to hear of any ancestry information.

Thank you.

Inglot is a real strumper as for meaning. In the list of similarly rooted surnames currently used in Poland is one Inglese which sounds like Spanish for English, but that is a very thin clue indeed.

FYI, there is a Polish science ficntion writer (born 1962) named Jacek Inglot:

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacek_Inglot

Any facial resemblacne to your family? Here are the names which possibly share a root with Inglat/Inglot
Inglant
Inglat
Inglatowski
Ingler
Inglese
Inglewicz
Inglik
Ingling
Inglink
Inglot
Inglott
Inglowski
Incidentally thre are only 2 people named Inglat but more than 1700 surnamed Inglot, largely concentrated in the SE corner of Poland around Krosno, Przemyśl and Rzeszów (former Austrian-ruled Galicja).

The others look to be Polish-spelled Yiddish occupational names:
Flejszar (German. Fleischer = butcher)
Bytnar (German Büttner = cooper - went into Polish as bednarz)
Szajar (German verb scheurn - to scour, scrub, Scheurmagd = scullery-maid - went into Polish as szorować; or Scheuer (granary, grain shed, barn).
Hope your Dad enjoys this infomation.
